There is also room for an upset this year (Mad Max: Fury Road, anyone?) which ups the ante even more. This year’s crop of Best Picture nominees make for a solid group of contenders despite the usual array of snubs (Carol, Straight Outta Compton, Ex Machina, Sicario) which just proves that 2015 was a great year for film. If you’ve seen the nominees this year and crave similar experiences, here are five films that share DNA with the nominees.

Level Up Strength and Magic Equally At the beginning of Metaphor: ReFantazio, when the Captain first arrives at the Recruitment Center, you’ll need to answer a question that determines where most of your stat points will end up in.

In 1982, Mattrick was just a teenage programmer in a Vancouver suburb dabbling in game design with his friend Jeff Sember. He couldn’t have known he was beginning a career that would bring him to the top spot of the world’s biggest entertainment software publisher. He’d never have guessed that he would go on to hold an absurdly long title like “Senior Vice President of the Interactive Entertainment Business in the Entertainment and Devices Division” of Microsoft, or hang out with Steven Spielberg on stage at E3, debuting a movement recognition device that could alter the way people interact with technology.

The one Christmas morning that mattered most, leaving the greatest impression on my memory and appreciation of game design – was dated 12-25-1994, the year Squaresoft released Final Fantasy III in the U.S. The earlier fantasies were analogous to medieval literature in both setting and structure, their lineated sagas seemed brave and unique back when a few plot twists, an evil wizard, a major character’s sudden, permanent death and some crystals were all you needed to whip up a storyline.

Griefers are internet folk heroes in this sense. They fulfill the promise of the online gaming space – these unpredictable epic stories created by the users instead of developers – and act as central players in the legends that are helping to define online gaming. Also like real-world folk heroes, more than a few griefers are self-involved nihilists whose goals and actions are fundamentally at odds with the structures that make online games playable in the first place.

In a recent interview, Chandor revealed that he and star Aaron Taylor-Johnson have a plan for the Kraven sub-franchise that culminates in an adaptation of seminal story arc “Kraven’s Last Hunt.” “[Kraven the Hunter‘s] essentially this building of a villain,” he told Collider. “The final piece in that, for Aaron and for me, was in ‘Kraven’s Last Hunt,’ which, if this thing works and is a success, that’s where we’d have this story end.

Thanks to a perfect storm of events – one of the biggest being that it was the next “big” 3D movie after Avatar reinvigorated the gimmick’s earning potential – 2010’s Alice in Wonderland made over $1 billion at the box office, despite not being a very good movie. You ever go back and rewatch it? Once the spectacle is removed, all you’ve got are some lovely visuals and Johnny Depp with silly makeup and a stupid accent.

11. Volume 11 At the bottom of the My Dress-Up Darling volume rankings is Volume 11, which focuses on the “Coffin” Group Cosplay effort by Juju, Marin, Gojo, and newcomer Akira and covers Chapters 80-87. This volume is easily the weakest due to its focus on a larger group of characters rather than the central duo of Gojo and Marin. Moreover, while Shinichi Fukuda has excellently portrayed the facial expressions and detailed cosplays of Marin in the past, the main focus of this volume is a Nun cosplay that leads to mainly empty black coloring that not only lacks detail but makes it hard to distinguish which character is who given that they are all in the same uniforms.
